Do you mean you were using a DNS domain name for the server address? That's why it was cached?

What do you like best about HAProxy?

We migrated from Snapt load balancer (Software based) to HAProxy Enterprise (Software based). This also came with the HAProxy Fusion. HAProxy has been performant and stable across our multiple clients that we service and allows configuration changes that do not impact our clients. This has been a huge step up for our stability and confidence in our solution. Since it is software based, we have been able to incorporate the solution into our disaster recovery solution with ease.

The product is very competitively priced as well as we have received phenominal support. I would recommend this product highly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HAProxy?

There have been some minor features that did not ship with the product. I have submitted these to development and they are actively working on my requests and provide updates when completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HAProxy solving and how is that benefiting you?

HAProxy for us has provided us with great flexibility of configuration. We are able to make changes without impacting our clients. As well as a graphical interface (Fusion) to interact with. This has made the configuration more user friendly for the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
